Chattanooga, TN- The University of Evansville Women’s Tennis Team (1-4, 0-0 MVC) was able to pick up their first victory of the season on Friday over the Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs.  The Aces were able to take every match with the exception of flight one singles to secure the 6-1 victory.  UE followed that up with a trip to Chattanooga where they took on the Lady Mocs.  Chattanooga was able to defeat the Aces by a score of 7-0.

The Bulldogs of Alabama A&M were handed their second straight loss at the hands of the Aces.  All players of the Aces were able to secure much needed victories.  To follow on that, all but one were able to secure both their singles and doubles victory.

Coach Jayson Wiseman said, “It was good to get out first win of the season and our team played well in both doubles and singles to earn the victory.”

A very good Chattanooga team was able to sweep the Aces by a score of 7-0.  Marine Darzyan and Marina Moreno were able to put up a fight at flight one doubles, taking the loss to Kayla Jones and Kelsey Coots by a score of 7-5.

Coach Wiseman added,”Chattanooga has a very strong team and it showed today.  We just did not have quite enough firepower to hang with them today.  The last couple road trips have been good preparation for our most extensive trip of the season and hopefully we have learned some things that will benefit our team the remainder of the season.”

As eluded to by Coach Wiseman, the Aces will go on a very extensive road trip next weekend.  They will compete on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with matches against IUPUI, Ball State, Findlay, Wright State, Capital, and Ohio Wesleyan.  The Aces first home action will come on February 27th when they host UT Martin and Eastern Illinois at the Tri-State Athletic Club.
